Focus on Nature
The Fungus
By PRull Stoutenburgh
I can't remember when we had as dry
a summer as this year. Then, during
September, it seemed as if the weather
was trying to make up for the lack of
rain by filling the month with moisture.
Overnight, dry brown lawns turned to
green, parched woodlands shot out lush
growth. The world was coming alive
again, at the very end of the growing
season.
During the dry summer there was
hardly a mushroom to be found. Then,
like the lawns that turned green over-
night, suddenly after the rain we were
in the midst of a mycologist's paradise.
Like jack -in -the- boxes, mushrooms of
all sizes, colors and shapes appeared.
For those who collect them and know
them, baskets were brought out and the
frugal art of collecting began. You no-
tice I said, "For those who know them,"
for this is not a game for the amateur:
one slight mistake in eating one could
have disastrous results. Yet, for these
who do know them, they are a gourmet's
delight.
It just so happened that one of the
most knowledgeable mushroom experts
recently came to Long Island to give a
lecture and lead a walk for the Group
for the South Fork. Lance Biechele is an
old friend of mine, and whenever it's
mushroom time we like to get together.
Lance is a self -made mycologist, one
who has educated himself in this very
difficult field of natural history. Fungus
is part of a field so vast and varied that
most people just can't cope with it. But

Bird's nests fungi living on dead wood are

Lance has made it a life study and has
become the expert in my mind.
Of course, as soon as we met we im-
mediately headed into the field in search
of mushrooms. Only a stone's throw
away from our cottage we found mush-
rooms galore along an old abandoned
roadway. Latin names whizzed by me
like there was no other language, and
then Lance would break one open, smell
it or even take a nibble of it to confirm
his identification. It was all a mystery
to me.
Some were poisonous, the amanitas;
others would be stored in the car for
later eating -all were fantasies in shape
and color. The poisonous ones were par-
ticularly handsome with their sleek red -
orange tops, speckled with spots around
the dome and, of course, the large bulb
at the base and veil on the stem. Madly,
but beautiful.
As we drove out of the woods, right in
the middle of the roadway were two
grapetruitsize brown-skinned puffballs,
another member of the fungus family.
Of course we had to get out and check
them. Lance opened one and it was per-
fectly white. "This is excellent eating"
he said. "Sliced and fried in a little egg
batter and bread crumbs, there's no-
thing better."
Mushrooms multiply by spores; thou-
sands, even millions of these dust -like
spores drop from beneath the gills of the
mushroom and Boat off into the air.
Some travel worldwide, others only a
start distance.
- Back at the cottage I happened to look
down on the ground as I got out of the
car. There was a whole series of tiny
yellow mushrooms. Lance was immed-
iately on his hands and knees closely
scrutinizing them. Again with enthusi-
asm and excitement he announced,
"They're bird's nest fungi." The tiny
cups with spore sacks resembling eggs
resemble miniature nests, hence the
name. Lance explained that when rain-
drops hit these little "eggs" they burst
open and disperse their spores in the air.
It was an appropriate ending to a de-
lightful day in the field with an old
friend.
